Wood Carved set of Gods of Good Fortune, 'Daikoku and Ebisu'

Item Details

Description

An Edo period set of the Shinto Gods of Prosperity and Good Fortune 'Daikoku and Ebisu'. Such carved wood icons were a big part of the fortune-garnering practices of the Tokugawa period (1603-1867) and were traditionally kept in the kitchen of the household where they acquired a characteristic patina of black smoke from the cooking fires. This pair of 'Kitchen Gods' (as they were known) are carved in an ittobori (flat plane) technique where the artist intentionally chooses to show the glyptic skill of the individual chisel strokes. This bold, spontaneous and rather eccentric rendering of these deities expresses the influence of the Zen aesthetic.
Measuring 14 inches (35.56 cm.) high (unusually tall for such artifacts).

Of special curatorial interest to collectors and museums is that these authentic Mingei works of art have been inscribed by the artist with their full provenance. Carved on the back of the rock formation upon which Ebisu is seated can be found a dedication. The following of which is what we were able to translate:

Bunsei (era) Ushi (ox year) a fortunate day - 1829 would be the Ox Year in Bunsei Umejima Village, Manzawa in Koma Ward, Koshu - contemporary Yamanashi Prefecture Getsu/tsuki Shoeimon Hizo - for the collection of Mr. Getsu Shoeimon On the occasion of a pilgrimage around Mito in Hitachi Province Saku "Sojika" - made by Sojika (name of the artist who carved these sculptures)
